Teaching and Research Interests: |
Health care costs in the U.S. have been escalating due to the aging population and availability of new technology and products. The current pace of health care expenditure is unsustainable, which calls for new means of organizing the health care system and diligent evaluation of health care inputs and outputs. As such, my teaching and research interests focus on examining costs and comparative outcomes of pharmaceutical products, health care utilization in the elderly population, and health policy. Specifically, I am interested in finding evidence and looking for creative ways to optimize medication therapy in areas such as formulary management, drug utilization review, automatic quality monitoring system, integrated health care practice, disease management guidelines, and policy-making.
In terms of teaching, it is my firm belief that effective teaching requires combining several techniques, including involving students in group and individual projects. I now believe in the notion “Tell them and they will forget, show them and they will remember, and involve them and they will understand”. Thus, class projects requiring student involvement have been an integral part of the courses that I teach.
